Where did the Control Panel and My Computer buttons go on Windows 10?
I thought my change over to Windows 10 would be effortless. Once again Microsoft does not get it. When updating new software they continue to hide useful items. Remember all the useful icons you got used to using Microsoft Word 98? Although a new programs choices and capabilities may increase, a person can't spend time searching for frequently used items. In other words, stop hiding important tools in other menus. The idea of creating an Icon is that it becomes iconic. You recognize it immediately. The My Computer and Control panel toggles were imbedded in the PC control menus for years, so long, they became icons. The Windows 10 changes are too drastic.
Oh don't worry I found the Control Panel, but it took ten minutes and is not as easily accessible.
I'm sure most people's computers are used as business tools. And as any good plumber or carpenter knows, you can't waste time looking for tools and parts. You have to be on task.
So maybe you put up the argument that "progress" and "development" means people have to reeducate themselves and get used to updated tools. In response, my question would be did the use or function of these icons become less important or outmoded by some newer developments in technology? Are they not important enough to be located where I can find them easily? When developing new soft ware Microsoft should remember: Different is not necessarily better, it's just different. If you want to make a difference make it better, or someone will shop in a competitors store where they make it better.
